Great British Beer Festival

Our Beer Revere blogger takes a look at the Great British Beer Festival.

 

Every August for the last 36 years over 40,000 people have flocked to London on a beery mission for the Great British Beer Festival (well, except a couple of times when it was held in Brighton and Leeds back in the eighties). A celebration of our national drink, beer, the festival showcases a selection of over 900 real ales plus ciders and perries. Those with beer geekery leanings can tick away for hours and those just looking for the more unfamiliar beers to sample can head towards the Bieres Sans Frontieres and the American cask bar. Hard to find cask versions of American favourites such as Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Extra IPA sits next to hand-picked bottled selections from Dutch, Belgian and Italian micro-breweries such as De Prael, De Molen and Toccalmatto. From Tuesday 12th August for 5 days Olympia exhibition centre hosts this yearly bash by the Campaign for Real Ale. Check out the finalised beer list on their social media links to tempt you down to ‘Britain’s Biggest Pub’.
